GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Bersa from her wide alley. BERSA (13) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest 12th at Chukyo over 1600m. Better than that and meets a very moderate line-up. Can improve and is a leading player on best figures. YUMESHIBAI (11) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fifth, beaten 3 lengths, at Chukyo over 1400m. Overdue for a win and has solid claims on best form. MELANGE (1) last appeared when she finished seventh over 1600m at Tokyo on February 14. Has to be respected. LONDON ARMS (12) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1200m at Fukushima. Likely improver with strong prospects.
